I liked the one with the gamebirds. The one with the monetary symbols struck me as a little corny if you're in the field of finance. The one with the tennis rackets is okay, I suppose, if you're very into tennis.

I think "club ties" of this sort rate rather low on the "formality continuum," but few men who are not Internet Gentlemen will be cognizant of this.

Just my $.02, which is all my opinion is worth.

It's different on this side of the pond, a crested club tie would be the ne plus ultra of formality.

i like the ties excluding the middle piece. a tie displaying currency sybols i a bit corny... the fact that you work in finance makes the choice more rediculous!

If you worked in a fertility clinic, would you wear a tie with spermatozoa on it?

If that currency tie is not appropriate for working in finance, when who the hell is supposed to wear it?
